I don’t know about you, but when I think about July 4th, I always think about grilling! Now that I’m a vegetarian, I must say that I do a lot less outdoor grilling – but that doesn’t mean I don’t like a great veggie burger! I was really excited when I picked up the latest edition of Vegetarian Times and found a new vegetable burger recipe to try!  This one is a bit unique as it uses both pasta and quinoa to hold it together!  The suggested method of cooking is on a grill topper but I don’t have one so I just cooked them on a skillet and they came out just fine.

This recipe is a bit of work but they are  great to make ahead – I ended up making up the mixture and forming the patties in the morning and then cooking them later in the day.

I have to say it is definitely the prettiest veggie burger I’ve ever made.
